Even gmail and Google Maps aren’t what they used to be. On a machine that isn’t top of the line, Gmail takes ten+ seconds to load to interactivity, and then going to each email takes five or so seconds. It’s basically unusable.

It took just under 2 seconds for the front page. Then I loaded GMail on the same machine. 15 seconds to the front page. Plus, it came in with 21 errors ranging from invalid headers to invalid sources to cross-origin issues.
- gbear605 6y agoThe errors are really embarrassing. Come on Google, how hard is it to just not have cross-origin issues?
